Our Circus Christmas

Every year my daughters and I decide what theme we are going to use for our Christmas decorations. We do not like the traditional decor and always try to incorporate a fun twist to our holidays. This year we decided on a Circus Christmas.

It was a hard challenge because it is hard to find items already made with this theme, so we decided to make our own.

For the tree ornaments we used chipboard Christmas ornaments that we painted and decorated.

We have clown noses, pin wheels,stars and clear ornaments filled with peanuts. We used a string of paper tickets as a garland.

For the table setting colorful plates adorned with popcorn baskets that we got at two for a dollar at the Dollar tree stores.

The centerpiece for my table is a carousel made out of paper. I made this carousel using scrapbook paper and printables. It was very fun to make. It is mounted on a lazy Susan so it really turns around!

Here is a view of my dining room.

We found these awesome gift bags and wrapping paper at World market stores. This really pulled the theme together.

An array of fun items made with printables are found all around the house.

This was I would say one of the most fun themes we have used for Christmas. Thank you for reading and your comments. Wishing everybody an awesome holiday season.
